SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, June 10. (EUROPE PRESS) –
Agents of the National Police have arrested a 44-year-old man for allegedly committing a crime of robbery with force in things. The detainee, owner of a bar, denounced a robbery with force in his establishment that, presumably, he had committed.
At the end of May, the owner of a bar in the Santa Cruz neighborhood of Santa María del Mar reported having been the victim of a robbery with force in the establishment he ran.
After the weekend, when he went to open, he found the padlocks on the bar’s closing shutter cut. Once inside, he found the slot machine and the cash register violated without, on the other hand, there being any other damage to the premises.
The result of the proceedings carried out indicated that the complainant himself was the one who had committed the robbery with force in things, to seize the 1,800 euros from the slot machine.
Among others, the technical report of the machine indicated that the events had been committed at a different time than the one initially indicated by the complainant, when he was present at the establishment.
Considering him the alleged perpetrator of the robbery with force that he himself had denounced, the investigators arrested the owner of the bar days after his initial complaint.
The facts were reported to the competent judicial authority. The actions were carried out by national police officers from the North District Police Station of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
